survival in the wilderness

Chapter 79 Good idea

Back in the laboratory, it was already evening, and the day was coming to an end.

When they came back, Mogi and the others smelted a pile of pig iron, but only made two pots and three kitchen knives, each of which looked very bulky, but it did not affect the use at all.This is the clay model made two days ago, and the clay model made today has not yet been finalized.

Hua Min and Ye Cong were still thinking about how to increase the success rate of the mud fan. It takes too long to dry in the shade, usually three to five days, and the mud fan will crack if you are not careful. There are too many problems.

Huang Ying asked, "Then what did you think of?"

At this moment, Hua Min is covered in mud, looking like a clay doll. She said: "We want to build a drying kiln, control the temperature and humidity, and make a lot of clay molds at one time, which is much faster than natural drying in the shade."

"Okay. When you think about it, find someone to do it. Remember to pay the man and put it in the laboratory's account." Lin Yan is very supportive of this.

The current efficiency is too low, and we must find a way to change it.

After thinking about it, she said again: "From today onwards, you will be paid wages. Before the iron coins are made, all accounts will be kept. Lanyue will take care of the accounts of the laboratory first. Each of you has Salary, if you go to work in other places, you will be paid there too. Shuisheng, Lanyue, have you settled your affairs yet?"

Both Mao Mu and Lin Yun are technical talents, and Bai Yun has promised them to go to the Ministry of Industry, and they will go to work when the smelter is built.

Shuisheng nodded, "Minister Fenghua has agreed for me to go to the finance department, and I will go to her the day after tomorrow. The arbitration tribunal needs to build an office and start work. Let me go and keep accounts."

"Minister Minglan also promised to let me go to the supplies department and start working from tomorrow." Lan Yue continued.

"Okay, from tomorrow onwards, everyone will be busy with their own affairs." Lin Yan looked around, "It's time for dinner, let's all go home."

A few people didn't move, they looked at the kitchen knife and iron pan helplessly.

Lin Yan understood in seconds, "You can divide it among yourself, it will be made tomorrow, so why rush."

Hua Min answered immediately, "You have everything, and you have tasted delicious food, of course there is no rush, we are different."

While talking, he reached out to grab the iron pot.The whole family is counting on her to bring back an iron pot.

Except for Mao Mu and Lin Yun, the rest of the people stretched out their hands to grab the pot first. After some fighting, Lan Yue and Shi Zhi got the iron pot with quick eyesight.

Those who didn't grab the pot immediately shifted their targets and started with the kitchen knife.

"Be careful, don't get hurt by the kitchen knife." Lin Yun stood beside him and reminded.

Mogi also watched worriedly, they were so crazy.

The two of them didn't fight because they felt that they were too old to compete with them. Besides, they would make more pots and kitchen knives tomorrow, so they didn't worry about being useless.

Shi Zhi, Huang Ying and Bai Chen each snatched a knife.

Lin Yan could also see that Shui Sheng and Hong Ling were just joining in the fun and didn't intend to snatch it away.Ye Cong, that's because he suffered from his young age and didn't have the strength to compete.

Back home, smelling the delicious smell, Lin Yan suddenly realized that his mother's cooking skills were amazing.

You can make more delicious meals after reading it once, but those who can be hooked by the smell will lose their souls.

Seeing Lin Yan enter the door, Hua Hong hurriedly said: "Come and eat, it's just out of the pot, and it's still hot. I made broth today, and it smells much better than stewed in clay pots. This iron pot is so easy to use."

Looking at the heavy and dark iron pot, it was far from Lin Yan's imagination, but it was extremely practical.No matter what it looks like, as long as it can make delicious meals, it is a good pot.

"Aniang's craftsmanship is great, much better than mine." Lin Yan boasted with a smile, "It smells much more fragrant, and it tastes even more delicious."

"Eat more if it tastes good." Huahong handed the soup to Lin Yan, "Eat more scrambled eggs with green onions, I won't be able to eat them tomorrow."

"Ah, why?" Lin Yan was taken aback. Are the only types of food still restricted?She has endured the lack of salt and other condiments, so why can't she eat it?

Huahong sighed leisurely, "The scallions are gone, we didn't bring much back, so we will share with the neighbors, and the rest will be eaten."

"Where are the green onions grown in the field?"

"It grows so tall, if you want to eat it, you have to wait." Huahong stretched out a finger and gestured. The green onions planted are not as tall as a finger, and they have just been unearthed for a few days.

"Although there were a lot of scallion seeds collected at that time, many people came to ask for them, so I distributed some to them. Our family didn't grow many."

"Then just wait, you'll always get it." Lin Yan was also very sorry, but as long as he could eat it, he said, "How's my leek?"

"It's growing very well, as if it's about to bloom, and a slender stem grows out, with a bag on it, wait and see."

Lin Yan was overjoyed, "The flowering is good, and the flowers will bear seeds. Once planted, it will be a large area."

"Are leeks really delicious? Can it compare to scallions?" Huahong asked uncomfortably. She glanced at the leeks under the courtyard wall when she was free, and sometimes smelled them. It really didn't smell like scallions. , I don’t know if it’s really delicious.

Lin Yan thought for a while before saying, "It's similar to green onions, and the taste is also different. You'll know it later."

"There are too many people going to the pheasant forest, and the wild eggs are not easy to pick up, and they can't be eaten casually in the future."

Lin Yan paused while holding the chopsticks, but it's normal when you think about it, so many people search every day, no matter how many wild eggs there are, they will be gone.

"It's fine if you can't eat wild eggs. We'll steal the goose eggs after we make sharp weapons. The goose eggs are big, and one is worth three wild eggs."

Hua Hong's face changed, "Still going to steal goose eggs, last time I went to steal eggs and I almost couldn't come back, so don't go."

"Hey, Auntie, we went to dig ore for three months, didn't we come back safely? It only takes two days to get back from stealing goose eggs. The last time we were unlucky."

After a pause, she continued: "Besides, with weapons, we can fight fierce beasts, and we won't be beaten and run for our lives in vain."

"The big white goose is too fierce. Who dares to mess with so many people gathered together. Lin Yan, don't try to steal goose eggs. Auntie will find wild eggs for you. If you can't find them, you can still buy them. I'll let you eat it."

The idea that popped up in Huahong's mind had never occurred to her at all. It was only a few days ago that she realized that she could buy wild eggs with money.

The more she thought about it, the more she thought it was a good idea, her eyes lit up, "Your salary is 3 cents a month, which is 30 cents, and you can buy 5 wild eggs for one cent, so you can buy 150 wild eggs a month. Enough for us to eat."

Lin Yan was stunned after hearing this. She never expected that A Niang's thoughts changed so quickly. The money had only been promoted for a few days, and she had already figured out how to spend it before she saw the real thing and earned it.
